Are we more
and more, pushed and steered to distance and remote ourselves from what
is real???

Is it because we enhance and correct weak lighting, level colors, sharpen
or blur or clone in new perspectives to enhance the background and subject
that we are warranting (endorsing) all kinds of fake
model photography?

The debate is certainly wide open! What do you make of this?
